Can I use this meditation timer in silent mode?

Yes. Keep the timer muted and it will run without any bell sounds. You can enable a calm bell any time.

Do interval bells ring during the session?

If you enable interval bells (for example every 5 or 10 minutes), the timer will play a gentle bell at those points as a soft reminder to return to the breath.

Does the timer work if I switch tabs?

Yes. The timer uses real time (Date.now), so the countdown stays accurate even if the browser tab is in the background.

About this meditation timer (45 minutes)

An online meditation timer helps you practice without checking the clock. This page sets a clean 45-minute countdown with an optional end bell, gentle interval bells, and a distraction‑free full‑screen focus mode. You can keep it completely silent, or choose a calm bell sound to mark the end of your session.

For many people, shorter sessions (5–10 minutes) are easier to start and repeat daily. Medium sessions (15–20 minutes) give you more time to settle. Longer sessions (30–60 minutes) can feel more spacious, especially if you like a slow body scan or mindful breathing. Whatever length you choose, the most important thing is consistency — a timer makes that easier.

If you’re new to meditation, try this simple structure: take 3 deep breaths, relax your jaw and shoulders, then gently notice your breathing. When your mind wanders (it will), return to the breath without judging yourself. If you’re using interval bells, set a bell every 5 or 10 minutes as a soft reminder to come back to the present moment.

Quick tips

Comfort first: sit upright but relaxed; use a cushion or chair.
Silence is okay: you can keep the timer muted if you prefer.
Gentle return: when the bell rings, open your eyes slowly and take one final breath.
